Defeat ends the match, but the game is far from over. Persistent progression and powerful modifiers reshape the odds of your next campaign, even as you reckon with the repercussions of your past. In a procedurally generated city, every session is a singular strategic odyssey—unpredictable, and entirely your own.

The world doesn't revolve around you. Every character leads an independent life, driven by their own traits, goals, and social standing — and they act regardless of your presence. Every choice has its price; you can’t please everyone.

Master the craft, research, and push the limits as you design your own radio studio. When off-the-shelf gear hits its ceiling, take full command: reinvent existing hardware or engineer unique technical prototypes from the ground up

A small station’s reach is modest, but it still moves the needle. Ratings and revenue keep the lights on—influence, however, is a double-edged sword. As your airtime tips the city’s economic scales, those you leave in the red won’t go down without a fight.

Immerse yourself in the world’s stories, but know your limits. Your inner resources aren't infinite.
